Applying Environmental Psychology to Enhance Lives

For decades, environmental psychologists have been gathering information about how elements of the physical environment, such as color, scent, texture, and spatial composition influence human attitudes and behaviors. They have used rigorous scientific methodologies to learn how to create places in which human beings thrive. This exciting program provides healthcare design practitioners with an introduction to environmental psychology's core concepts. The influence of aesthetic aspects of the physical environment on the immune system will be comprehensively addressed. Applying Environmental Psychology to Enhance Lives will explore applications of environmental psychology in healthcare contexts and provide attendees with the tools they need to begin to use environmental psychology in their practice.
